Specify the Maximum Number of Drive Letters (Windows 3.1/DOS) Category: Home > Tips and Tricks > Configuration Files > CONFIG.SYS
This setting control the maximum number of drivers accessible by a drive letter.
Open the CONFIG.SYS file found in the root directory of your C: drive using Notepad or another text editor (not Microsoft Word or any word processor).
Add a new line with the text "lastdrive=?" where '?' is the last accessible driver letter (for example lastdrive=Z). Alternatively use "lastdrivehigh=?" command to cause the reserved memory to be taken out of the upper memory area instead.
These changes will take place on the next reboot.
Settings: |
Name: lastdrive or lastdrivehigh
